Hawkers |
The FEHD maintains control over hawking activities in Hong Kong. In 2002, 82 053 raids were carried out and 18 900 convictions secured in the courts for offences related to hawking. In the interests of fairness, options currently available to urban itinerant and cooked food stall hawker licence holders upon the surrendering of their licence, including an ex gratia allowance and relocation, will be extended to those in the New Territories. |
